When there is an emotional need, does the other person clearly indicate that they cannot give it?

Dear Questioner, I must admit that your description prompted me to smile. Please do not misunderstand me, as my own life is also playing out the drama of "one wants to chase, the other wants to escape." In an intimate relationship, we are essentially reflecting our attachment to our mother as children. A secure attachment is characterized by the following: 1. I know I'm good. 2. I also know you're good. 3. You will feed me when I'm hungry. 4. You will clean me when I'm dirty. 5. I can be alone and quiet. 6. If I miss you, you will come and hug me. I hope this provides some insight. Best regards, [Your Name]

Anxious attachment manifests as a perception of oneself as a flawed child and a perception of the mother as a benevolent authority figure. This dynamic often leads to a fear of separation and an urge to cling to the mother for reassurance. The child may also seek constant responsiveness from the mother, seeking to prove their worthiness and elicit a sense of security. Despite these efforts, the child may still experience self-doubt and engage in behaviors to test the mother's reliability.

Avoidant attachment manifests as a tendency to view oneself as a reliable and self-sufficient individual, while simultaneously perceiving one's caregiver as unreliable and untrustworthy. This dynamic often leads to a pattern of testing one's caregiver's patience and tolerance, and may result in a sense of rejection or abandonment if the caregiver displays impatience or disapproval.

Dear Questioner, Please take a moment to identify your attachment style. It is important to note that individuals with an anxious attachment style may be particularly susceptible to falling in love. A notable example is the case of Wang Baochuan, a young woman who was taken away to dig for wild vegetables. When individuals with an anxious attachment style interact with those with an avoidant attachment style, they may become susceptible to manipulative behaviors. The other person may repeatedly demonstrate that they do not value the attachment, yet the attachment will persist in trying to please them in exchange for a sincere word. Is this an effective strategy?

In his book, The Feeling of Climbing to the Sky, Yue Xiaodong introduces a form of reality therapy. He asserts that everyone has two fundamental needs: to love and to be loved. When these needs are unmet, individuals may experience negative emotions such as anxiety, resentment, self-abandonment, and self-doubt.

It is important to understand that feelings of guilt are not a productive emotion to experience in this context. Furthermore, these negative emotional reactions may lead to escapism.

It is important to exercise responsibility when pursuing one's desires.

You are valuable, your emotions are valuable, and your emotions are valuable. It would be beneficial to recall those instances of "successful recognition" more frequently. Most individuals find the sight of themselves glowing in their partner's eyes appealing. Similarly, few would choose to confront challenging circumstances without first identifying a solution.

I am Coach Zhang Huili. I would like to extend my congratulations to you for taking the first step in self-exploration. I am confident that you will become a beloved star of peace and joy.

Hello!

When you have an emotional need and the other person says they can't give it to you, it feels like your needs are being taken for granted.

You both communicate well. You may feel that reasonable requests should be met. Let's try to understand each other more.

This emotional need is reasonable, but the other person is busy and tired. The other person can refuse your request.

To satisfy yourself, calm down and spend some time alone.

Think about how you feel and what you need. Do something for yourself to feel better.

This way, you take the initiative, feel less pain, and feel freer.

Is the other person self-protective or selfish? How can you adjust to a situation you cannot change? Does it mean you have to compromise?

It doesn't matter if the other person is being self-protective or selfish. You are free to work on your relationships or end them.

Think about your own resources, listen to your heart, and take care of yourself. When the other person is in a good state, you accept their energy; when they are not, you take care of yourself.

Best wishes!

Hello!

This question can be answered in two main ways: one is about yourself, and the other is about the other person.

Now, let's chat about this part of ourselves. We all live in relationships, and when we can't meet our own needs, we look for relationships that can satisfy us.

However, people's needs are constantly changing, and one relationship can't possibly meet all of our needs. So, it's really important that we develop different relationships and form a network of relationships.

In an intimate relationship, we're seeking the most intimate of all dual relationships – the mother-child relationship. How we handle this relationship is really up to us and depends on how mature we are on the inside.

It's totally normal to have needs for the other person. How you respond when they can't meet those needs is where you can learn and grow. If they don't meet your needs, do you blame them, try to ingratiate yourself, interrupt them, or be overly rational?

These coping strategies are formed in the course of our relationship with our parents. They are also our relationship patterns.

With a relationship model, there's a bit of a gap, a part of ourselves that we can't quite satisfy on our own. It's only natural that we'd try to fill it through the relationship.

Let's take a closer look at four more strategies: blaming, pleasing, interrupting, and being overly rational.

Blaming is when we focus only on our own needs and what's going on in our lives, without considering how the other person might be feeling.

To please someone else is to focus on what they need and what's going on, without worrying about your own feelings.

Interrupting is when you don't take the time to see yourself, the other person's needs, and the situation clearly. It's choosing to avoid it.

Being ultra-rational means focusing on the event and letting go of your own feelings and those of the other person.

I'd love to know what kind of communication the questioner is using with the other person!

It's so important to remember that the way you communicate reveals your inner feelings of inadequacy. We've all been there! By blaming others, you hope to make the other person feel bad and generate guilt, thereby satisfying your own needs.

Appeasing is when you feel bad about yourself, but it's okay! It just means you have a need to do better, or you want to satisfy the other person's needs or compromise.

Sometimes, we might find ourselves interrupting, avoiding, or ignoring a situation because we're unable to face it head-on. It's okay to feel this way! We all have moments where we feel powerless, and that's perfectly normal.

Being ultra-rational means discussing things without caring about your own feelings or those of the other person. It's all about being fair!

Let's talk about the other person's aspects again. The truth is, the other person also possesses what we've discussed. What's the response? If there's no response, what does it show?

Let's take a look at three things. The first is that the other person has what you need but isn't willing to give it to you. So, it depends on why they're not giving it. The second is that the other person isn't unable to give it, but is also lacking. The third is that the other person wants to give it but can't, and doesn't know how to use it.

It would be really helpful for you to communicate more specifically.

If the other person can't meet your needs, it's time to think about what you need. Do you want a sense of security or a sense of worth?

It's so important to ask yourself what kind of security and sense of worth you need, and what you can do to satisfy yourself.

In a relationship, it's only natural that whoever is suffering will change.

I love you, and I think the world does too! Wishing you all the best!

Hello, I'm a heart exploration coach, and I'm here to help.

It can be challenging when your emotional needs aren't being met in a relationship. When the other person seems indifferent or distant, it can feel like rejection.

You may feel aggrieved and angry inside. Perhaps we could hug each other from a distance and see if we can figure out what the problem is.

1. When needs are not met, emotions may naturally arise.

I agree with you that when there is an emotional need and the other person makes it clear that they cannot give it, and even labels you as "demanding," it can leave people feeling frustrated and helpless.

It is important to recognize that both parties in a marriage or partnership have different emotional needs. In today's world, there is a vast array of material goods, and spiritual needs can take many forms.

Being together as a family is not just about the basic needs of "not lacking food or drink." It could be said that "life needs a sense of ritual," and that occasionally having a little surprise and feeling a little happiness can help to keep a relationship fresh for a while, even for couples who have been together for a long time.

It could be said that a perfect love/marriage is made up of three elements: passion, intimacy, and commitment. When a relationship has passed the 6-12 month "freshness period"/honeymoon period

Once the initial excitement of the "freshness period"/honeymoon period has passed, it is natural for passion to subside and intimacy to increase. During that year, the name of the dish and the sketch performed by Guo Da, which depicted the reality of a husband and wife "holding hands", were very down-to-earth.

A happy marriage requires nurturing and care. It is worth waiting for and embracing the feeling of "running towards each other in both directions." I kindly suggest reading "Falling in Love with the Double Dance" together.

2. How might we achieve effective communication in a relationship to nourish each other and grow together?

From your words, I sense a certain level of frustration. It seems that the other person may have some tendencies that are perceived as selfish and stubborn, and you have invested a great deal of effort in trying to influence them, but have not yet achieved the desired result.

It is important to remember that complaining is not conducive to a healthy relationship. When we criticize, blame, or complain, it can lead to feelings of frustration. It is likely that both you and your partner have experienced criticism at some point in the past.

It can be challenging to alter a long-term pattern of relationship interaction unless we first make changes within ourselves. When we do so, it often leads to the other person naturally making changes in order to adapt to our changes.

Effective communication is also key to maintaining a good relationship. It's important to express your true feelings and opinions to the other person in a way that shows your emotions, and to listen to them as well. When emotions flow between you, you'll be able to agree on a point of view and meet each other's needs within each other's abilities, which will help you work together to find a solution to the problem.

It might be helpful to think of intimacy as a state of being unafraid. Getting to know your partner's natural temperament, how they express their emotions, and their strengths and weaknesses could be beneficial. For instance, calm people often find themselves at ease with their parents, but when it comes to intimacy, they may not always feel as connected to their partner.

The second half of Lin Wentai's "Psychological Nutrition" is about "natural temperament." It may also be helpful to consider the "psychological distance" that makes both parties feel comfortable in a relationship.

It is important to find a balance between connecting with your partner emotionally and maintaining a safe psychological distance. This allows you to nourish each other and grow together in the relationship.

I hope these suggestions are helpful to you. The world and I love you.

Greetings.

After reading the original poster's account, it became evident that the relationship was characterized by a pervasive sense of suppression, stemming from the inability to express one's normal emotional needs. This lack of expression gave rise to confusion regarding the nature of the intimate relationship and a sense of uncertainty about how to communicate with the other person and express one's normal needs without experiencing discomfort.

Furthermore, emotional needs are universal to all humans and should not be avoided or concealed.

It is unclear what the current questioner's partner is experiencing and why they believe they are unable to respond in a way that meets the other person's expectations. However, the simple response indicates that the issue may be that the questioner and their partner are unable to communicate freely and express themselves as they wish. They often feel impeded when communicating with each other and seek to confirm the reason. They also require a genuine restoration of the authentic interaction between the two in their daily lives. What context is provided? How do the two parties understand each other's expressions? These understandings and perceptions behind the expression of information may affect the other person's interpretation of the information.

Nevertheless, regardless of the circumstances, it is imperative to recognize that humans possess inherent needs and emotions, which deserve respect. The capacity to articulate one's needs is a hallmark of a mentally healthy individual.

Although there are also boundaries in intimate relationships, it is possible to respect the other person's opinions while expressing one's own normal needs. In the event that the other person ignores or neglects one's needs, one has the option of leaving or attempting to improve the quality of the relationship in other ways. This is analogous to a person who is capable of doing something well but begins to doubt themselves due to the other person's negativity, which may result in feelings of inferiority. This is an inappropriate emotional response and is not a constructive way to deal with problems or resolve conflicts.

One must be courageous enough to assert one's own needs and desires, without succumbing to the fear of rejection or abandonment. This is the essence of overcoming the inner voice that hinders one's own self-expression.

I wish you the best of luck and encourage you to persevere.

So, you have an emotional need and the other person makes it clear that they cannot give it?

Hello, I'm Ying Wang, a psychological counselor, and I'm here to help!

I totally get it! Reading your description reminds me of myself. I was in such pain during the first two years of my marriage. I am a very emotional person, and I really wanted my partner to give me what I needed emotionally. I wanted him to understand me, comfort me, and be there for me, but he disappointed me again and again. But now I have escaped this vicious circle. Slowly, I have come to understand the nature of intimacy and the reasons behind my needs, and it's been an amazing journey!

When you want to get your emotional needs met from the other person, and the other person doesn't meet them, this is when you get to consciously be aware of yourself, what's going on inside yourself, what feelings you have, whether it's insecurity, whether you feel unworthy of love, whether you feel abandoned. You get to learn to look back at yourself, be aware of yourself, see which old wounds of yours have been triggered, and then find out who first brought you these feelings. It's an amazing process!

The great news is that a strong, independent person doesn't need anyone to satisfy their needs because they can completely satisfy themselves. If you still need other people to satisfy you, it just means your inner child hasn't grown up yet. They still need someone to act as their parent to satisfy the unmet needs from childhood. So, it's important to realize that when you're not satisfied, the feelings of loss and pain that appear in you have nothing to do with the other person. It's just that their behavior of not satisfying you triggers the wounds from your childhood, and your inner child is hurt.

It's time to shift your focus! Instead of letting the other person take over, take a moment to focus on yourself. Observe your thoughts and feelings. When you notice negative emotions, like hurt, insecurity, or a sense of being unloved and unimportant, acknowledge them. Then, take a deep breath and remind yourself that you are important and loved. Listen to the chatter in your head and observe your thoughts.

Treat your inner child with love and care! Show it your support, give it a comforting embrace, and communicate with it. Let it know you understand its pain and that you're there for it. When you can accept and stay with it in this way, it will gradually calm down and stop throwing tantrums.

Although we have grown up, our inner child refuses to grow up because it has been hurt before. But don't worry! It will hide in a dark corner and will occasionally come out to throw a tantrum when stimulated by the outside world, demanding its unmet needs. But these come from the subconscious mind, and we won't be aware of them. This is what is meant by being unaware. The good news is that we can be aware and aware of ourselves! We can start practicing awareness of ourselves through small things, and see what our inner selves are thinking. Slowly, you will bring these to the conscious level, and the next time when the other person doesn't satisfy you, you will be aware and understand that it is not the other person's fault, but that your old wounds have been triggered. At this time, it is enough to comfort yourself.

And then, with foresight, you will be able to control your emotions, your inner strength will slowly return, and your inner child will slowly grow up with you!

When you have inner strength, you will learn to look at the problem from another perspective. This is a great way to see things! The other person does not have the right or obligation to meet our needs. In this way, it is also a kind of demand on him. Everyone carries some life in them, and the other person may be the same. In the process of growing up, they have been subjected to their mother's demands in their interactions, trying to get from them what should have been obtained from their husband, or perhaps what they could not get from their husband they will get from their son. So when the other person faces your demands, they will feel more pressure and subconsciously want to escape. This is a great opportunity for you to learn and grow!

In this situation, the first thing you should do is focus on yourself, grow yourself, learn to satisfy yourself, and love yourself. In this way, you'll be amazed at how the other person will relax, and your relationship will greatly improve!

I really hope my answer helps you out! I wish you the absolute best!

Hello! I have great news for you. I have re-read your question today, carefully reviewed the relevant information, and now I would like to give you a response.

Behind our apparent strength, we all have a child that needs protection—and we can help them!

The book "Parenting Your Inner Child" offers incredible insights that can transform our lives. It reveals that behind our feelings and emotions is a weak self. But it also shows us how to take better care of ourselves and make our hearts stronger, warmer, and more loving.

It's incredible how many different ideas there are out there about what we need as humans! Maslow's hierarchy of needs (physiological, safety, social needs, respect and self-actualization) and the ancient Chinese saying "When the granary is full, one knows propriety; when one has enough food and clothing, one knows honor and disgrace" are just two examples. And let's not forget about the "sense of security, freedom, value, meaning, and intimacy" mentioned in this book! They're all basically saying the same thing, which is pretty amazing when you think about it.

It's truly fascinating how our needs are divided into several levels. It's like a pyramid, with each level building on the next. And it's not just that—it's also how we prioritize our needs. We tend to give up higher-level needs in order to better satisfy lower-level needs. It's a brilliant system!

And there's more! The book also reveals that our emotions are caused by unmet needs behind them. We also have some wrong perceptions about ourselves, some of which are about others and more about ourselves.

And the best part is, the causes of these misconceptions are revealed, as well as ways to correct them!

We are afraid, we are anxious, we are helpless, we are worried, we cannot control our feelings and emotions, which constantly erode and consume us. We think these things are bad, and we cannot get rid of them. But we can! We are isolated and helpless, we seek help, we long for intimacy, we long for intimacy to help us solve these problems.

But there's so much more to discover! We just need to find the right way to express ourselves and then we'll know what we really want, and we'll understand why we've become this way.

I'm excited to share that the book is divided into eight parts, which I'll briefly discuss below.

1. Relationships, needs, and love

People want to establish relationships with others because they need to! Relationships can meet our needs and help us solve practical problems. We have five amazing needs that relationships can help us fulfill: "sense of security, sense of freedom, sense of worth, sense of meaning, and sense of intimacy."

2. Sense of security

We will amplify and associate even the smallest things, and the amplified and associated things will bring us worry and fear. But we can choose to turn this around! We can choose to face our fears head-on. We can choose to embrace the challenges that come our way. We can choose to recognize that we are worthy of love and belonging. We can choose to recognize that we are enough, just as we are. We can choose to recognize that we are capable of overcoming any obstacle that comes our way. We can choose to recognize that we are worthy of love and belonging. We can choose to recognize that we are enough, just as we are. We can choose to recognize that we are capable of overcoming any obstacle that comes our way. We can choose to recognize that we are worthy of love and belonging. We can choose to recognize that we are enough, just as we are. We can choose to recognize that we are worthy of love and belonging. We can choose to recognize that we are enough, just as we are. We can choose to recognize that we are worthy of love and belonging. We can choose to recognize that we are enough, just as we are. We can choose to recognize that

It's time to feel secure! You can do it! The current situation may trigger fear in your subconscious, but these fears are no longer necessarily true. You have the power to gain a sense of security. Try moderate abandonment, small adventures, asking for help, trading, and separating from the original family.

Guess what! You can overcome those experiences of being intimidated. How? By recognizing that they come from the personality of the parents, their attitude and behavior towards themselves, the anxiety about danger that parents who lack a sense of security pass on, parents who love to reason, the parents' communication style, the way the parents treat other people, and the parents' neglect.

It's important to find a happy medium when it comes to security. Having a moderate sense of security is the best way to go. And remember, freedom and worth are things you can choose!

3. Sense of freedom Now for something really exciting! Let's talk about the sense of freedom. Freedom is something you can choose, while not being free is something you have to do.

Freedom is something you can choose! Not being free is something you have to do.

When you separate your body and mind, you create internal conflict, procrastination, and a lack of focus. This means you're not free! But when your body and mind are in harmony, you feel comfort and existence. You're free!

We can all feel unfree when we have too many demands from others, when other people dislike us, when we have too much to do, when we feel ordinary and commonplace, or when other people are unhappy. But we can choose to escape and avoid socializing, work, and intimacy.

But here's the thing: avoiding things doesn't bring us true freedom.

The good news is that you can gain inner freedom! The cause of unfreedom is self-imposed constraints, the belief that my feelings are unimportant, and a desire for security. But you can overcome these obstacles and achieve true freedom when you feel secure.

Emotions are the driving force of freedom! Quarrels, tantrums, and entanglements are expressions of freedom—they're cries for freedom!

Absolutely! There are so many ways to gain inner freedom.

1. Unlock yourself and explore more possibilities!

2. Identify ideas and know how to persevere!

3. Learn to say NO!

4. And finally, find a reason for your choices and take responsibility for them!

And guess what? That same lack of a sense of freedom can also be traced back to the original family.

4. Sense of worth

A sense of worth is the result of freedom! It's a kind of trust in oneself, the belief that you can do a good job, that you have the ability to do so, and that you are okay.

A true sense of value is an objective evaluation of oneself that is not dependent on the evaluation of others or material things, and does not need to be proven by success. "Do not rejoice in material things, nor do you grieve over your own misfortunes."

People who lack a sense of worth often blame external factors for their lack of success and base their self-worth on external things. But there's another way! People with a low sense of worth attribute internal factors to stability, so they feel powerless and the problem cannot be solved.

There's a simple way to maintain your sense of value: attribute problems to others and external factors. And here's another great tip: attribute problems to factors that you can influence. It's a positive and useful approach!

Now for some great ways to find a sense of worth!

1. View yourself as a whole — and see how it makes you feel!

2. Define yourself and use external definitions to your advantage!

3. Set a small goal and make it small—and watch it grow!

The family of origin has a significant impact on the development of a low sense of value. There are so many ways that parents can influence this, including through arguments, being busy, pessimism, complaints, accusations, expectations, comparisons, and indifference.

5. Sense of meaning

Many people cannot answer the question of the meaning of life. But here's the good news: the meaning of life is to live your true self!

Living your true self is an amazing experience! It means connecting with the world, immersing yourself in it, reveling in it, enjoying it, and achieving unity with nature.

The good news is that you can experience a sense of meaning! All you have to do is be with your feelings and live according to your inner feelings. And the best part is that meaning comes from the process, not the result.

And the best part is, you can improve your relationships too! All you have to do is live your life and find meaning in it.

Then they discover things they have in common, enjoy each other's company, and explore the world together!

A lack of a sense of meaning. In the original family, this is expressed as: parents not loving the world themselves, parents depriving their children of love, and parents not knowing how to enjoy life. But there's hope!

And now for something really special! It's all about intimacy.

Seeing, accompanying, understanding, responding, paying attention to, valuing, respecting, recognizing, accepting, and supporting are all expressions of intimacy. And they're all amazing! But what is behind the feeling of intimacy?

Intimacy is a fantastic way to satisfy your sense of deprivation! It's all about integration and becoming a better version of yourself through other people.

Intimacy is idealized. You are stronger than me, and you can help me only if you are stronger than me—and you are!

However, some people refuse intimacy and love, believing that they are not worthy of love. This is a shame, because they are actually worthy of love! They try to prove through subtle clues that the other person does not love them and that they are not worthy of love. This is because they have never received love and have been hurt so many times. But they can change this! They can learn to love themselves and to trust that love will last.

If you don't know how to love yourself, you will especially need others to love you. The good news is that you can be accepted by others! All you have to do is learn to love yourself.

Guess what? The feeling of inner deprivation comes from two things: first, our parents treated us in the wrong way when we were young; second, we grew up without learning how to nurture ourselves through study.

I'm so excited to tell you all about the solution to the suffering of intimacy!

It's time to find your emotional needs, discover the lack of intimacy behind them, stop abandoning yourself, and embrace your own intimacy!

The good news is that you can change this! The reason someone feels a lack within is that their parents treated them in the wrong way when they were young, and they grew up without learning to nurture themselves.

7. Nurture yourself!

Nurture yourself, be your own parent, and accompany yourself as you grow up again — it's the best thing you can do for yourself!

There are three fantastic ways to build your self-strength: 1. Face reality head-on. 2. Seek meaning.

3. Be flexible!

Let's explore the four levels of coping with setbacks! 1. Unconsciously digesting the setback.

3. Desire for intimacy and help. 4. Passive response.

Having emotions means that the stimulus of reality is beyond your ability to handle, and you have not received help. But you can rely on your instinctive reaction to deal with emotions, which is your last line of defense!

Nurture the child within you!

1. Go back to the core! 2. Look for expectations!

3. Find the logic and locate the lack. 4. Pursue the source.

5. Make the logic work for you by filling the sense of deprivation!

Keep asking yourself these two questions: "What does this unfulfilled expectation mean?" and "What will happen if this unfulfilled expectation comes true?"

You can overcome any lack by recognizing its root cause. For example, a lack of security is caused by self-intimidation, a lack of freedom by self-restraint, a lack of value by self-denial, and a lack of intimacy by a refusal to love. Once you identify the root cause, you can take action to overcome it!

To gain security, you give up freedom. It's a trade-off, but it's worth it! A sense of value solves for freedom, and freedom solves for a sense of security. Find the reason behind your emotions and feelings, while recognizing your own logic, modify your logic, and live your life!

I really hope this text helps you understand why you feel this way! I wish you all the best!

Dear Question Asker, After reviewing your question and additional description, it is evident that the challenge you and your partner are facing is a common one in intimate relationships. One partner has emotional needs and desires to connect intimately with the other partner, while the other partner feels like they are being asked for something and wants to avoid or refuse.

Although this is a common issue, it has caused significant difficulties in our personal relationships. Let us examine this matter together with the aim of developing solutions that will benefit us both.

♣ Identify the root cause of the discrepancies in information interpretation during interactions between the two parties.

One key message in the additional description is that you feel this is a reasonable demand, but the other person feels like they are being asked for it. There is a significant discrepancy in the perceptions of the situation. It is recommended that you have a productive discussion with your partner about the specific issue at hand.

Firstly, it is important to ensure that your needs are expressed truthfully.

Please describe your partner's emotional state when they hear your needs.

3. Your emotional state subsequent to receiving a response from your partner.

4. Please describe the response you would like from your partner to your needs.

5. The preferred method of expressing needs.

♣ Mutual respect for differences

By understanding the information and resolving the causes of differences in interpretation, one may discover a rather harsh reality: the primary cause of differences between men and women is their inconsistent views on the same matter. For example, women tend to prioritize intimacy and emotions in their lives, while men tend to prioritize career status.

It is important to recognise that while there is no right or wrong in this situation, there are significant differences in opinion and occasionally even conflicts of interest.

In the event of differences or conflicts of opinion, it is not possible to request that the other party change their values in line with our own. The only viable course of action is to respect each other's differences and seek common ground while maintaining a degree of flexibility within the limits of what we can accept.

♣ Effective interaction in an intimate business relationship is based on mutual respect.

Ultimately, you are uncertain about the necessity of compromises to maintain the relationship, particularly after adjusting your own approach. In fact, effective interaction in an intimate business relationship hinges on mutual respect.

Respect is a two-way street. It is both respect for the other person and respect for oneself.

The decision to compromise is contingent upon whether the concession is convincing and whether the other party respects the compromise made for the relationship. unilateral compromise is a form of disrespect to both oneself and the other party and is therefore not conducive to improving the relationship.

I hope the above information is useful to you.
